About
BSc
Management

Wherever your future career ambitions lie, a management degree from Bristol will encourage you to think critically and creatively about management practice. You will gain an all-round understanding of how organisations and managers operate in a global environment while also developing analytical, problem solving and interpersonal skills that are attractive to employers. You will join a friendly and supportive department with an active student society.

You will learn about management practice, organisation theory and the global business environment, as well as specific functions like accounting and marketing. Our wide range of optional units means you will be able to personalise your degree to reflect your interests and career ambitions in areas such as strategy, business law, HRM and finance. Many of our units contain an international dimension to reflect the global nature of business.

Your first year will involve study of international business, organisation theory, accounting, economics, finance, mathematics and statistics - providing you with a solid foundation on which to build, whichever aspect of management you choose as the focus of your studies.

During your second year we will help you to develop an understanding of research design, data collection and data analysis, including analysis of survey data, interviews and observation in organisations, in preparation for your final year dissertation. This is a piece of individual research in which you can focus on a topic which stimulates your interest the most.

Alongside your preparation for, and production of, the dissertation, you will take other core and optional units during your second and final years. Popular second year options in the past have included Management Science, Marketing and Project Management, while popular final year options have included Strategy, Advanced Management Science and Operations Management.
